"We will have to take care of what we encounter the day and make the hard yards".

Strauss continues: "the first two games were very stop-start, it was difficult to construct the rhythm.

"But we made five centuries in the first two games and if you do that you will win more games than you lose." There are also a few performances really good bowling and good catch.

"We were not quite at 100%, but I hope that we will improve."
